Dr. Woodhouse is a triple board-certified physician in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Bariatric Medicine. As a Commissioned Corps officer in the U.S. Public Health Service, she crisscrossed the country for 8 years providing medical care to a wide variety of medically underserved communities and serving during Hurricane Katrina.
